Drafted by Cowboys 4th Round Pick 128 RB Tony Pollard Memphis

Rayman70 · Apr 27, 2019

he IS a stud. Cant coach speed and elusiveness. Has a nose for the end zone.

Hey guys, why is the rest of the league failing to recognize the greatness of Traevyon Williams?

Wow, that high on PFF?

Airless Lion would have us believe all our picks would have been undrafted free agents

No, just the professionals

I don't want to be the hater, but I wasn't a believer. I thought his complete back ability was overblown; I didn't really like him as a passing down back. I also thought he missed some holes. He also tested poorly at the combine; running a slow 3 cone drill and coming in undersized with height, weight, and arm length

What starter were you hoping to pick up in the 4th?

This freakin’ fanbase, smh

I was hoping to pick someone with real potential to make an impact. We used a fourth rounder on a guy playing behind the best at his position in the league.

This freakin' fan base, smh

The patriots take a QB every year seemingly... are they bad?

Why don’t you quote the scouting reports that say 6th round or worse.

Another "over reach" by the Cowboys. Like the player. Don't like the overreaches.

The Patriots also win the Super Bowl every other year. They also cut trouble makers. They also have the best coach in the history of the NFL. I can do this all day.

Someone compared the DT we took TO Staubach because they both quit on teams. This is almost as egregious as that. When your legacy is winning and being one of the best, you have more leeway. When your legacy is poor decision making, trouble makers and early exits, you don't.

I think think this is a replacement for Lucky’s role just as much as Dunbar. lucky was a dime a dozen player but he was good on that sweep run. I think this team hoped the war from North Carolina could run that play but he stunk at it. I think they will want Pollard to play that role.

Using a fourth round pick to get 5-10 plays a game in the Dunbar role and Lucky role is tough for me to justify.

You think they’re overreaches. Apparently, the front office doesn’t. Or maybe they do, and just don’t care. In any event, they’ll still be obscenely wealthy, and we’ll still be fans.

I love this pick, really think the Boys did a good job drafting this year.

Filled(for the most part) things we really needed to fill.
Got a DT, G, RB, DE, etc...looking good so far.

Everyone's crying about safety but it wasn't a huge issue last year...

Cry babies are gonna cry man.

If you don’t understand the fact Kellen Moore was in on this guy and that he’ll be getting touches as RB/WR/KR I can’t help you.

If you think he’ll just be relegated to sitting behind Zeke waiting for him to get injured.... I can’t help you.

Again, feel free to name the stud we missed out on in the 4th round.

Screw The Hall · Apr 27, 2019

Thought the pick was early, but I love the player fit here.

Take Zeke off the field, throw him initially in a 1 back set, then motion him into a 5 wide formation.

Love his versatility, gotta use it though.

CalPolyTechnique · Apr 27, 2019

Pollard has 7 kick return TDs.

People overstate the impact of the new rules on kick-offs (ie. more touchbacks).

Every time you touch the ball its an opportunity to positively impact the game (score/flip the field). Our return game has be atrocious as long as I can remember.

Pollard changes that.

gmoney112 · Apr 27, 2019

I thought the entire time the 4th round, mainly due to historical trends and what we needed/wanted, was kinda where we'd target a guy like this.

Shifty guy who can create in space, can do something on kick returns/punt returns (they usually have to)

For months I thought this would probably be a slot WR, but leading up to the draft it just didn't really look like it was going to happen that way. RB depth was pretty bad.

So, 4th might have been a little rich. But, that's kinda the area where you actually get some fairly decent value/production out of a guy like this. 4th round RB/slot guy that can return a bit.

Might have been a little rich, but we'll see. If we actually get creative with him i'm okay with it. If he's just going to be asked to do what Zeke does, probably not the best choice. I think he ends up being pretty decent value.

Regardless of where we got him very very excited about him. He played a lot of wide out in college. Looks like a kamara type player. Could be huge weapon for his

He ran a 4.3 at the Memphis pro day

He ran a 4.5 at the combine because he had food poisoning

That's a nice factoid. Found an article to confirm.

There was a similar factoid about Cooper running in the 4.3s at the combine, instead of the published 4.42.

Cooper, Tavon, Pollard all legitimate 4.3s. Me likey.

Lol. Look at his clips. 4.3 speed jumps out at you. He doesn’t have 4.3 speed.

Reported that he did run 4.3 at his pro day.
